Question

One solution of the equation 6x2 - 19x + 3 = 0 is 1/6 . What is the other solution?

Answer 1

If one answer is 1/6 that means that one factor is 6x-1. Find the other factor and use it to find the other root.

Answer 2

(6x-1)( )=6x^2-19x+3

Answer 3

In ax^2+bx+c = 0, the solutions/roots p and q form this relationship

p*q = c/a

and p+q = -b/a

We know that one root is 1/6, so p = 1/6


p*q = c/a

(1/6)*q = 3/6

q/6 = 3/6

Solve this equation for q to find the other root.

Answer 4

would the answer be q = 3 ? @jim_thompson5910
